With all of its ships back, Princess Cruises is planning a full summer program in 2022.
15 of the company’s ships, including the recently delivered Discovery Princess, are ready to cruise around the world, with significant capacity deployed to Alaska and Europe, in addition to returning to the Asia-Pacific region.
Alaska is one of the highlights of the program and continues to concentrate the majority of the company’s six-vessel offering.
Another highlight is the summer program offered by Sapphire Princess on the West Coast, which is a first for Princess.
